“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth…” (Romans 1:16).

Beyond understanding the message, the soul winner must carry unshakable conviction. This means you’re fully persuaded of the truth of the Gospel—its source, power, and relevance.

The Apostle Paul boldly declared that he wasn’t ashamed of the Gospel because he knew it as God’s only instrument for salvation. He said, “Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). Such statements come from a heart that is absolutely convinced that Jesus is the only way to the Father.

This conviction fuels passion. It makes you immovable and relentless in preaching Christ. When opposition arises, your conviction keeps you focused. When others hesitate, your persuasion drives you forward.

Be fully persuaded: Jesus is the only hope for the world.
